Capital along the Nile (5)

I believe the answer is:

cairo

(Other definitions for cairo that I've seen before include "Egypt's capital" , "Capital city on the Nile" , "City near the Nile delta" , "Port upstream from the Nile delta" , "Capital of Egypt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
